I also want to microneedle. Will my RA hold me back?
Answer: RA and Injectables Yes. You should be fine getting Botox and Volbella with rheumatoid arthritis. Make sure to give your plastic surgeon a full medical history and I would avoid doing any treatments if or when you have a flare up. Hope this helps.

Answer: Botox and Volbella with RA As long as your RA is well-controlled, there is no contra-indication. Always discuss your medications and your symptoms with your doctor before having any kind of cosmetic procedure. I have treated many patients with auto-immune diseases and they have all done well.

Answer: Botox and Volbella for Patients with RA This is an excellent question. There should not be any contraindication to receiving Botox or Volbella treatments if your rheumatoid arthritis is under control - I have treated patients with a history of well-controlled autoimmune diseases with a variety of fillers without an issues. As always, I would recommend discussing your full medical history and medications with your dermatologist or plastic surgeon during your consultation. Best of luck!

Answer: Volbella and Botox with RA As long as you are not having an active flare of your Rheumatoid Arthritis, Botox and fillers (like Volbella) should be fine. I recently spoke with Allergan (the company that makes Botox and Volbella) to ask the question about a patient of mine with scleroderma. There were no treatment contraindications to the products with regards to patients with well controlled autoimmune diseases. Hope that helps.
